Joining the phono stage is an advanced headphone stage which uses McIntosh’s proprietary Headphone Crossfeed Director technology - also found in the company's MHA100 headphone amp - and four digital inputs.

DSD65, DSD128 and DSD256 high-resolution audio formats are supported over USB, along with DXD 352.8kHz. The two optical and single coaxial inputs are capable of decoding up to 24-bit/192kHz audio.
